But causality tells us they have causes none the less. The notion that our reality is just a sub-reality of a larger reality is easier for me to accept than the idea that causality doesn't always hold.
The universe doesn't care what is easier for Heywood, myself, or anyone else to accept.
I find the double-slit experiment results difficult to accept - nonetheless, the results are what they are.
The crux of the matter is this - we don't know those things (your premises D & E) to be true, so your conclusion F is, as far as we can tell, unsupported. (And before you get your panties in a twist, I'm not arguing against causality - I just happen to think your argument is shit.)
